Think of it like a crochet hookk… that’s reallly long. It’s a mixture or knits and crochet. Because it’s so long, it’s able to mimic knit stitches.

I’m glad that you can. Some of our young members aren’t allowed to view YouTube videos because their parents won’t let them

At least YouTube is around to learn things from. I had to teach myself from books years ago because the internet was not publicly accessible yet.

It is sort of a mix of crochet and knitting. To make a row you pick up loops in stitches and have all of them on your hook at the same time, and then to finish the row you basically chain through the loops until you have worked all but one off the hook. Because you pick up loops in a way similar to knitting, you can achieve designs that look like the fabric was knitted.
